A Turd World invasion is necessarily accompanied by Turd World diseases. Watch out for the next outbreak of leprosy.

At one time, long ago, one needed a full medical including x-rays to come here.

I sure did for a green card ap. in 1987 and it was not cheap.

There is no way that this was caused by illegals.

Yes it is, it just reality ..the people that come illegal are the poorest of the poor ...

We are getting swamped with the poorest of the poor third world disease be because we are getting swamped with people with the poorest of the poor third world health practices

Case in point a common thing you see in public bathroom now in So Cal.....used toilet paper is tossed on the floor or if your lucky they have a bucket to toss it in ...because this in common in poorer Mexico

In poor areas of Mexico the pluming is so bad they NEVER flush toilet paper it clogs the pluming.. so the have a bucket for used toilet paper

So go to your local So Cal fast food restaurant where the use all fresh across the boarder illegals and check out the rest rooms

I'm from So Cal, Ive seen it

Strange because I’m pretty sure our kids were vaccinated against this, are these all unvaccinated children?

So were my kids, but both of them came down with it this school year. It was weird. A strong course of antibiotics seems to knock it out pretty well.

Some clowns will claim that the mercury in the vaccine is more dangerous than the disease (even though the vaccine doesn’t contain mercury).

There are a few idiot parents who won’t have their children vaccinated, but the likely reservoir of disease is illegal alien children. Doubtful they get vaccinated much down there in Turdworld.

Vaccines only last for so long. This is from the Mayo Clinic website.

Booster shots

- Adolescents. Because immunity from the pertussis vaccine tends to wane by age 11, doctors recommend a booster shot at that age to protect against whooping cough (pertussis), diphtheria and tetanus.

- Adults. Some varieties of the every-10-year tetanus and diphtheria vaccine also include protection against whooping cough (pertussis). In addition to protecting you against whooping cough, this vaccine will also reduce the risk of your transmitting whooping cough to infants.

Why does an unvaccinated person pose a threat to a vaccinated person?

Because the "unvaccinated person" is probably a drunk-driving MS13 member.

Sarcasm. If I had my way I’d put up red-hot electrified razor wire, on each side of the minefield that I would place along the border(s).

Well, you can bet that the real reason is the influx of illegal aliens. The whole "parents who don't believe in vaccinating their kids" thing is just whitewash so the PC media can avoid laying the blame at the feet of the real cause. A lack of vaccinations may be a minor factor in the spread of whooping cough, but not a big one.

A few years back, here in Southern Idaho there was a whooping cough outbreak. It started in school districts which have the state's highest concentrations of illegal alien kids...go figure. I was working in a radio station newsroom at the time and reported the whole story, but the rest of the media followed the lead of the state AP and said "doctors don't know why or how the outbreak got started".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Shouldn’t booster shots be recommended and clinics set up like they do with flu shots? or is it really not the case....

I am still waiting for liberal stupidity to be declared an epidemic in California.

I had whooping cough when I was in third grade (a loooong time ago), and it’s not fun to say the least.

So when we get tetanus boosters, we get pertuses boosters too? Yep, I’ve had mine. Have you had yours?

Not all Tetanus boosters include Pertussis booster. Yep, I had a Tetanus shot a few years ago. I didn’t get whooping cough this year, but my kids did.
